Classrooms & Chatbots: AI in English Learning
The article “Reading, Writing, and ChatGPT: High School English teachers adjust to the New Realities of AI” explores the evolving role of generative AI like ChatGPT in high school education, particularly in English classrooms. Teachers at Orland High School in California are adapting to this new landscape by assigning in-class handwritten essays to ensure the authenticity of students’ work. They are also balancing the use of technology by incorporating AI tools for larger projects and teaching activities. A survey cited in the article reveals that more teachers (65%) are using AI than students (61%), and there’s a correlation between student engagement and AI usage. However, the rise of AI has also escalated concerns about academic integrity, prompting some schools to initially block AI tools like ChatGPT, although some have since reversed their policies. The article concludes with an interesting point: teachers can use AI tools like ChatGPT because they “already know how to write,” highlighting the need for students to first master basic skills.
From a professional standpoint, the article offers a balanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into education. It showcases the proactive measures teachers are taking to adapt to technological advancements while preserving the integrity of the educational process. The return to handwritten assignments serves as a countermeasure to ensure authenticity but also opens up a dialogue about how best to integrate technology into the educational system without compromising academic standards.
